Wei and Jin cooks

Mrs. Beigong bowed slightly to Zhao Hanzhang, then held Bei Gongchun's hand and got into the car. She tilted her head slightly and looked out the window at Zhao Hanzhang who was standing on the steps and watching them with a smile.

It wasn't until the carriage was far away that Zhao Hanzhang turned around and walked in. Only then did Mrs. Beigong retract her gaze and said to Mrs. Beigong: "I didn't expect that such a girl would come out of Zhongzhou at such a young age."

Mrs. Beigong was also very envious, "Shijun Zhao is very powerful."

Mrs. Beigong nodded slightly.

The next day is the Dragon Boat Festival. This is a festival that Xiliang Jun has been able to celebrate with his family for many years.

Xiliang didn't pay much attention to the Dragon Boat Festival. To them, it was just an ordinary festival. But today, they think the Dragon Boat Festival is a big festival.

Zhao Hanzhang asked someone to send them a batch of food. All the military dependents who came to seek refuge were given per capita, regardless of their official position.

There is not much food, but it is enough for each family to survive this month safely. By June, the beans in the fields will be harvested.

Moreover, she knew last night that Zhao Erlang was going to cooperate with Bei Gongchun to suppress bandits.

Since there is always some profit to be made by suppressing bandits, with Bei Gongchun's character, he will definitely not deprive his soldiers.

Therefore, the food she sent out was reduced, but the Xiliang army was still very happy to receive this food called a festival.

The newly arrived military dependents felt a little sense of belonging to Luoyang and Zhao Hanzhang.

During the Dragon Boat Festival, people selling sachets and lucky eggs are everywhere in the city. As long as there are people who buy sachets, the little girl selling them will give them a handful of mugwort.

Zhao Hanzhang and Fu Tinghan were going out of the city to see the water mill, and they were stuffed with sachets, eggs and mugwort along the way.

In the end, she really couldn't take it anymore, so she asked the guards to stop her, saying that it was enough to say hello during the Dragon Boat Festival, but it was not necessary to give gifts.

A little girl looked at the sachet in her arms, the lucky eggs in her pocket, and even a lot of mugwort hanging on the horse's back. She was unwilling to give away her gifts, so she grabbed her own eggs. Then he shouted, "Shijun Zhao!"

Zhao Hanzhang looked over following the sound, and the egg in her hand was shot towards her face. Zhao Hanzhang was startled and subconsciously raised his hand to grab it.

The newly cooked Fu eggs were still hot, and the eggshell shattered as soon as Zhao Hanzhang squeezed it. The red dye on the Fu eggs smeared Zhao Hanzhang's hands, turning her palms red.

Zhao Hanzhang looked at the proud little girl helplessly and accepted the egg.

Seeing that Zhao Hanzhang had stopped, the other onlookers were also ready to move. Fu Tinghan was afraid that they would really smash the eggs over, so he quickly rode forward to block her side.

Zhao Hanzhang turned around and smiled at him, then got off his horse with a pocket full of eggs.

She strode towards the corner. There were several children standing there, holding a handful of mugwort in their hands. Their clothes were shabby and they were so thin that their eyes were big. They were leaning against the wall and looking at them with confused eyes.

Seeing Zhao Hanzhang coming toward them, the children were both excited and frightened. They straightened their backs subconsciously, but couldn't help but retreat, sticking tightly to the wall.

Zhao Hanzhang smiled and snored on their heads, then stuffed the eggs in his pockets into them, two each, and hung the sachets in his arms around their necks.

"Happy Dragon Boat Festival."

At this time, the Dragon Boat Festival still means that everyone can get rid of poisons and be safe and happy, so as soon as Zhao Hanzhang finished speaking, the child who received her gift immediately shouted with joy, and a series of blessing words came out: "Make you happy Dragon Boat Festival May you be safe and happy during the Dragon Boat Festival. May you take this wormwood and hang it on your door to drive away evil spirits and bring peace to you."

The younger girl on the side jumped anxiously, but she could only keep repeating: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

Then he tried hard to stuff the mugwort in his arms to Zhao Hanzhang.

Zhao Hanzhang scattered most of the eggs and sachets he received, leaving only two. He touched the little girl's head and hugged the mugwort stuffed into his arms.

She waved to the people who were about to move and said: "Okay, let's all leave. I have received enough blessed eggs and sachets today. You can give them to other relatives and friends, or to the children of Yushan Hall. "

She smiled and hugged the mugwort in her arms and saluted in all directions, "I wish you all a happy Dragon Boat Festival."

Everyone bowed down and returned the greeting, "I wish you a happy Dragon Boat Festival."

Seeing Zhao Hanzhang mounting his horse, everyone moved out of the way to let them leave.

There were only a few people in the water mill, and most of the workers had gone home for the holidays.

The water mill was built on the edge of Luoshui. When Fu Tinghan inspected Luoshui before, he felt that this location was excellent. There was a slight drop in the water flow and there was a large open space on the shore. At this time, three tall waterwheels had been erected in the water. From above The falling water hits the blades, and the water wheel slowly rotates, and the raised water rolls and splashes into the large ditch beside it.

A total of three large water canals extended to the water mill. After reaching the water mill, they were separated again. They rolled down and hit the smaller water carts. The water carts rotated, driving the stone mills in the room to rotate.

Fu Tinghan put on the stone grinder himself and let her see the effect.

The stone mill of more than two hundred kilograms started to rotate. Fu Tinghan scooped some soybeans into it with a big spoon. The stone mill crushed the soybeans and slowly overflowed. "It is enough to drive the stone mill. It can even be driven in a chain. I will do it during this time." If you try one house, you can drive several stone mills, but it won’t be powerful enough to make a forging press.”

He said: "There are some problems with the crankshaft of the forging press that is being produced so far. It always breaks away, so we still need to study it. Is there any news from Yuncheng?"

Zhao Hanzhang shook his head, "Not yet, but I guess it will be soon. Whether it happens or not, Zhao Zhongyu will have to give me a reply."

She looked around and asked, "Is it difficult to do a series of water ordeals?"

"It's not difficult," Fu Tinghan said: "Not only the water mill can be connected online, but the water hammer can also be connected. However, they are still in the experimental stage. We don't know how much wear and tear will be. But if they can be made into a chain, only this water mill can pound rice every day. The rice, wheat flour and bean flour ground are enough for the people of Luoyang City to consume now."

In this way, they can free up a lot of labor force. Zhao Hanzhang is now short of money and food, and he wants to make the best use of his people.

Moreover, water-driven stone mills and stone hammers originally used the principle of electricity. Once a hydraulic forging press was built, Fu Tinghan's research on hydraulics would become even more profound. There will be many places where this principle will be used in the future.

"I will send another letter to urge Zhao Zhongyu. You ask Gao Ji to find relevant talents in the north," Zhao Hanzhang said: "Not only do we need them to study together, but we also need them to guide the construction of water mills in various places. .”

Fu Tinghan lowered his eyes and thought for a moment before saying: "We can train relevant craftsmen from now on, and when this water mill is built, we can send them to other places to build it."

The craftsmen here are very good. They don’t need to know the principles. As long as they have the drawings and do it again, they can reproduce it and make adjustments according to the actual situation.

Sometimes Fu Tinghan doesn't pay attention and only cares about some data, thereby ignoring the reality. It is they who help correct it.

Zhao Hanzhang agreed and thought this was a good idea, "This thing is easy to use. When you figure it out, let them go to Yuzhou and build one in every county. It is best to build one in every county with suitable water sources. This can save a lot of manpower." Come."
